The Giant’s Causeway and Causeway Coast

The Giant’s Causeway and Causeway Coast was declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1986.

Giants Causeway is made of unique geological hexagonal formations of some 40,000 volcanic basalt rocks columns and cliffs on Atlantic coast in Bushmills, Antrim County. This striking landscape was caused by an ancient volcanic eruption, around 50–60 million years ago. The columns start from the foot of a cliff and disappear under the sea. The tallest columns measure around 12 meters in height. A wonder where  you can witness the power of Mother nature in her glory!
